Prototype Parts FAQ
How fast can you manufacture prototype parts?
Prototype parts are quoted and manufactured within 3–10 business days depending on complexity. Simple brackets or plates: 3–5 days. Medium complexity: 5–7 days. Complex 5-axis or multi-setup parts: 7–10 days. Urgent express turnaround available — contact us for pricing. Quote turnaround is always 2 business days.
What materials can you use for prototype parts?
We manufacture prototypes in all engineering materials: aluminium 6061-T6, 7075-T6, steel 4140, stainless steel 316 and 304, titanium Grade 2 and 5, brass, and PEEK. Material choice depends on application requirements — strength, corrosion resistance, weight, cost. We advise on the best material for your prototype.
Can you manufacture single prototype parts?
Yes. We specialize in single-off prototype parts. Cost per unit is higher than production runs because setup time is the same regardless of quantity, but we keep prototype pricing competitive. Most prototype customers run multiple iterations, each refined based on the previous prototype.
What tolerances can you hold on prototype parts?
Standard CNC machining holds ±0.05mm. High-precision prototypes hold ±0.01mm. Critical features can achieve ±0.005mm with CMM verification. Tighter tolerances increase cost and turnaround — specify tolerance requirements on your drawing.
Do you offer design feedback for prototypes?
Yes. Our engineering team reviews prototype drawings for manufacturability and design optimization. We flag potential issues, suggest material upgrades, and recommend cost reductions before machining starts. This feedback is included in your quote.
Can you manufacture prototype parts from sketches or concept drawings?
We prefer dimensioned engineering drawings or CAD models. Sketches and concept drawings need clarification before we can quote and manufacture. Our design team can convert sketches to detailed drawings — contact us for a design quote.
